However, the administrator of the Stan Lee's Comikaze Facebook page has now moved to stamp out the rumors and criticize newspaper the Toledo Blade for its report on the matter.

"It sucks Stan had to cancel, but you know the man doesn't just do conventions. he puts in a hard day's work creating. It's really sad that the Toledo Blade had to go spread nonsense," the administrator wrote on comicbooked.com.

"If you want to be up to date on stan then follow us, [because] he kinda owns our company. It's sad that some blogs are scaring fans. not really nice.

"PS: we had a milkshake with him on saturday. that should tell you it all there."

The administrator went on to say that Lee is "totally fine" and advised fans to disregard the "gossip" stating otherwise.
